Proton Satria Neo Test Drive
One beautiful Saturday afternoon, me and my housemate, Zen went to Proton Edar headquarters located in Subang USJ to test drive the latest Proton Satria Neo for fun. Hmm.. as long as malaysian made cars are concerned, I would always think that Perodua surpasses Proton in term of the quality of the cars they produce.

The main gate of the "Central of Exellence" - Proton Edar Headquarters USJ

Zen was posing with our "appetizer" before the actual meal (Proton Satria Neo) =). This is the most beautiful cross SUV I have come accross so far. Damn sporty inside and out! Lotus APX...


Another "appetizer" - Lotus Europa S, hmm.. I personally think that this type of car would never be my taste, the first reason is, it is too impratical, 6-digit price tag with 2 doors, the second reason is, it is ugly and looks damn "show off".


Proton Satria Neo! The front headlights keep reminding me of the previous model of BMW 3 series.


Neo's butt - Proton has started to put the exhaust pipe of their new models in the centre, not sure what is the significance of it. As the picture shows, Zen keeps complaining about the fact that the petrol lid of Neo is made of "pelasitik". Very very delicate.

The sporty "white elephant" which is not in production, only a decorative item in the showroom. The interior of this decorative item is a bit "ah kua" to me, damn sissy.



Proton Satria Neo in "Shit" color.



Proton Neo 1.6 - The Campro engine under the hood.


Zen could hardly enter the car, I would say that the space of Satria Neo is really limited, this is due to the reason that the length of the dashboard has been extended compared to the previous model, as the mater of fact, the space of the car in whole is really small, it will be even harder for someone chubby to stuck the body into the car


Look at the remaining height between the your head and the roof, better wear a helmet if the ride is too bumpy.

The leg room, small!

The glove box, with soft opening, really really soft.


The dashboard, simple and nice looking. 1.3 model comes with CD player while 1.6 model comes with CD + MP3 player. The player is custom-made for Neo and can only be fitted on Neo, thus, reduces the desire of CD player thieves to steal it.



The boot, what can you put in such a limited volume? Gosh...!

Enough for Neo, here comes the new face lift of Waja, they have shifted the Waja logo to the center.


The tail light gets a tiny little bit of Mercedes-Benz's piece of design



Unveiled... Gosh! what is this?! Now i understand why people always say that the new face lift doesn't necessarily mean improvement in the look! If you got a guun, please fire at me!




The head lamp: It looks nicer than the previous version of Waja, hmm... a little consolation over the ugly tail lights.




The feeling of driving a Neo is very close to driving a Waja as the stability is good. According to Effendy, the sales consultant, the handling of Neo is only 15% different from a real Lotus car. They have also included a very good selling point to the car, which is the feature of "drive by wire" technology, a technology used in Air craft. "Drive by Wire" is being applied to Neo's oil throttle to replace the common cable system found on most of the cars. Hmm... I recently found out that the latest accord is using this technology as well.
If you are a family man, this car wouldn't be your choice as the space is really limited. On the other hand, if you prefer something sporty, good handling with affordable price tag, you may want to consider Neo. :)

Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Triang, when was the last time you took a close-up look at it?

Hello all, thanks for dropping by...I was invited by Mr. Shee, who is one of the representatives from PIBG Sekolah Menengah Triang (oops, it is Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Triang now, not sure when the name was changed @##!$), last Sunday to get some snapshots of the brand new look of Sekolah Menengah Triang, It previously looked nothing but a prison in a cowboy town and I was really amazed by the changes taken place all these years, wow! I am now more confident to tell people out there that i went through my secondary education here rather than telling people that "I no go school" (too shameful to tell people where I came from).




The main entrance, i guess they haven't taken down the lanterns after CNY...


A "Pondok Kawalan" can be seen right in front of the main gate. Visitor must go through proper security clearance, eg: Visitor pass before entering the school premises. "Oi! lu mau pergi mana!!" is the greeting you would most probably hear if you go in without permission.


Gooooooosh!! Look at this picture, if you manage to find just a tiny little piece of rubbish, i will definitely reward you! ..................................With another piece of rubbish


Rules of thumb to ensure that your safety as a student is warranted, how many could you abide by?


A special walkway for students after school dismiss, i remember we would have to walk on the busy main road during our time, the safety of the students is more prioritized these days.



Lorong Tang Hock Lock, Mr. Tang has made generous contributions to preserve this area, when is your turn?


2 Superior??


Zoom out a bit, you will find that this classroom looks familiar, guess what, it was 5S1 during our time......The spirit of messy water was once "splashed" here.


The arrangement of the seats in the classroom have changed as well, it is now totally a different look and feel. Whenever i see this type of arrangement, there would be something in my mind which i hate most....EXAM!

Motorbike lane......



Bicycle lane...... Both the motorbike and bicycle lanes branch out from here.

Science labs... we could see Mr. Wan, Mr. Lee Keh Penh etc wandering about this area last time, those were the days. .....

Taman Leo says: "Those who preserves will be crowned." , who is the next king?


I did my wood work for Kemahiran Hidup subject here, Bobby had requested 6 pieces of woods to build a "present" for a teacher named Marlboro.

Water fountain and a signboard doing free advertisement for various universities. hehe


Exams are close, it makes me feel as if it is a time bomb, which is waiting for its time to explode!


They have a good system for students and teachers to report disiplinary issues via SMS.



Here stands the a 3-storey high new building, hmm...not really sure what this building is for, i refered to the person who escorted me, Mr Shee, his answer was "Wa hmm zai.." (maybe it is a scientific term, it seems to be hokkien to me in whatever ways.keke just kidding.)


I know they have been trying hard to renovate this building, but to me, still looks scary.......


I noticed that they put a CCTV and an announcement speaker at the canteen, not really sure what they are for, i assume that they might need those things to monitor students who over eat and thus, to reduce obesity problem in students nowadays, if you over eat and the CCTV detects it, a warning alarm will sound at you!


Pencinta Alam Club owns a garden as well, according to Mr. Shee, each of the trees here costs about RM 50 per tree, all sponsored by the community in Triang.

Form 4 block last time, what is it for now? Leave us a comment to enlighten us :)


The combination of aisle and art



Another "wa hm Zai" Building.
